Robert Stocker Obituary
Robert P. Stocker Jr.
Age 61, of Mt. Lebanon, peacefully passed away on Friday, January 2, 2026. Beloved husband of Patricia (Hackett); devoted father of Robert III (Kelsey) and James John (Blair); loving brother of Michelle Ann and Julie Elizabeth; cherished son of Marsha (Lioon). He was preceded in death by his sister, Evelyn, and his father, Robert Sr.
A proud Mt. Lebanon alumnus and graduate of Duquesne University, Bob was known as a football standout - both as a teammate to many and a coach to many more. His love for family was rivaled only by his passion for friendship and sports.
“He was all that was good, and he will forever be missed.” “The perfect example of a father, and lucky enough to be his friend too.” “The best father a kid could ask for and always demonstrated strength, courage, and a sense of humor.” “He absolutely loved being a father, a husband and a coach. His values and kindness he got from his parents he instilled in his sons”
Friends will be received Tuesday, January 6, 2026, from 3 to 8 PM, WILLIAM SLATER II FUNERAL SERVICE, 1650 Greentree Road, Scott Twp., 15220, (412-563-2800). A Mass of Christian Burial will be offered Wednesday, January 7, 2026, 10 AM, in St. Bernard Church, St. Michael the Archangel Parish.
